The Paper Artist Collective - Oslo Pop-Up Shop

If stunning paper art gets your attention AND you happen to be in Oslo, Norway November 19-22, you're in for a treat. The Paper Artist Collective, an internet-based group, will be bringing together fifteen artists from eleven countries for its very first live pop-up shop.

Visitors will have the opportunity to choose from an array of holiday cards and gift items that feature professional paper art including paper cutting, paper sculpture and illustration... the images you see here are just a tempting sampling.

So what exactly is the Paper Artist Collective? The group was formed with the intention of bringing together worldwide paper creatives for exhibitions, events and collaborations.

It currently includes nearly sixty artists from twenty two countries. A member and photos of his or her unique work are presented each week via the @paperartistcollective Instagram feed, and each member has a feature page on the Collective's website.

Two artists who have never actually met in person (not that it matters in this day and age!), Kristine Braanen of Norway (@kristinebraanen) and Samantha Quinn of the UK (@prettypaperdreams) who is currently living in Australia, launched the group less than a year ago.

Members are selected based on their unique style and skill level. Samantha and Kristine are always excited to see artists who approach paper art in ways they could never have imagined.

The Oslo Pop Up Shop is the first public event of its kind for the group. A few more shows are already scheduled for the next nine months, including a repeat pop-up shop in Oslo early in 2016.
